A Vanderbilt math professor criticized the subject for being too "white" and "cisheteropatriarchal" in a lecture he presented at a major mathematician conference earlier this month.

Luis Leyva, an assistant professor of mathematics at Vanderbilt Peabody College of Education and Human Development in Nashville, Tennessee, at the Joint Mathematics Meeting on January 4 delivered a lecture titled "Undergraduate Mathematics Education as a White, Cisheteropatriarchal Space and Opportunities for Structural Disruption to Advance Queer of Color Justice."

"Leyva is the Director of the PRISM

That is a bunch of meaningless gibberish. And ... they have the insufferable gall to call their little confab a "research lab". It is nothing of the kind. At best, it's a conference room with a bundh of idiots babbling at each other.

Coloreds have diverse talents from basketball to rape and armed robbery.

Unfortunately high IQ and analytic skills aren't among those talents.

Mine too, it’s probably why he was hired. Yet another reason to pull the plug on “higher” education.

Manipulative and power grabbing? YES.

But also completely insane. In a better world, the Men in White Coats would take him away and make him comfortable in a rubber room.

How soon before these morons declare that education itself is racist?

Sad isn't it. Vanderbilt was well regarded. Now it's just making a mockery of itself.

See also #55. The good news, to the extent that there is any, is that this sodomite is not polluting the actual Mathematics Department ... he’s off in the education ghetto. The bad news is that he’s in the education ghetto, and his mental poison will affect elementary and high school teachers.

I looked it up:

“cisheteropatriarchalphobic” means “in the state of or in resemblance to a pu**y.”

No insanity has a compulsive delusional experience.

People who manipulate to gain power.

This is evil.

Don’t mix evil with insanity.

Charge the jackass with multiple racist Hate crimes, and sentence him for n years where the number of years for each subsequent crime is the sum of the previous years sentenced given the number of years for the first crime is 2. If convicted of 3 racist Hate crimes, for how many years would the racist professor be sentenced?

"I apply my framework and research findings to argue how undergraduate mathematics education operates as a white, cisheteropatriarchal space that limits learning opportunities affirming of queer of color identities and experiences. I conclude by re-imagining undergraduate mathematics education with structural disruptions that advance justice for learners marginalized across intersections of race, gender, and sexuality," Leyva said.

She wants the math courses to be "affirming of queer of color identities and experiences."? Math isn't affirming of any "lifestyle". And changing "mathematics education with structural disruptions that advance justice for learners marginalized across intersections of race, gender, and sexuality" will detract from learning math and muddy it with learning feces.

Someone should tell John Urschel (now a tenure track assistant professor at MIT).
